Murder at Maypole Manor

A Posie Parker Mystery #3

By: L.B. Hathaway

Narrated by: Clare Wille

An isolated cliff-top Manor House, a sumptuous New Year’s party, a snowstorm, and multiple murders. Sounds like a case for Posie Parker!

New Year’s Eve, 1921.

As her reputation steadily grows, Posie Parker is asked to accompany the utterly charming Inspector Richard Lovelace of Scotland Yard on an undercover mission of entrapment. Their destination is a glittering New Year’s Eve party at the remote Maypole Manor in Kent, the cliff-top home of Lord Robin Glaysayer. Scotland Yard have one of the house guests in their sights as being a dangerous criminal, but which guest is it? Among the twelve guests are a famous film star, an artist, an Italian nobleman, a government spy, and the Glaysayer sisters, one of whom is a mysterious clairvoyant and the other is a society ‘Bright Young Thing’.

As the party gets going, and a thirteenth house guest unexpectedly arrives, the champagne flows, and the snowstorm outside turns unsettlingly into a blizzard. Then their host, Lord Robin, is found murdered, and another guest too. But why?

Cut off, and with no help coming, the Inspector and Posie’s skills are tested to breaking point as they try to find the murderer before they attack again.

A glittering 1920s cozy mystery, full of fast-paced intrigue and glamour, sure to thrill fans of Agatha Christie, Downton Abbey, Sara Rosset and Helena Dixon.

Loved it.

Really enjoyed It. An intricate and intriguing story. So many ups and downs. Good characters.

Good, needs pruning

Over all good but could use more editing. Several phrases are very repetitious through the entire story.

It kept me "turning the pages" so to speak.

The plot had twists and turns but not those aggravating hidden ones. Plenty of back stories and interesting characters, which I hope to see I. future books.

A really, REALLY great series

A new favorite and is totally binge-worthy! And wow! I love the surprises, the complexity of the mysteries as they unfold, and I really love the heroine. She is strong but human. She’s worked hard for the respect she achieves as the series progresses. She’s smart but not in the ridiculous faux-Sherlock manner some series writers employ. She makes mistakes, but not silly ones as some protagonists do. I also like the people in her inner circle because they enrich her character, add humor and play a huge roll in the unfolding of each story. I can tell this is one series I’m going to keep hitting the search in Audible to see when the next books are released.

enjoyable...

I like the series very much, but there are so many deaths in each one...
